Have not been to any Applebee's in a very long time. Came here on recommendation and it was I think the best meal and service I have ever had from Applebee's. Wait staff was exceptional, food came out hot and a very nice large portion where I was full when I left and even the manager was walking the floor checking with tables to make sure everything was to their liking. Exceptional in all areas today!!!!

Our waitress was Kaylee she was sooo rude lowkey mouthy. Had to ask for refills like 4 different times before we got them. Mind you this was a Sunday night. My friend and I’s fries were cold. Didn’t have anyone come to our table for at least 15 minutes after we get our food. Manger gave me a 10$ off for our next order card but I don’t even wanna come back. At least he was nice. Burgers were warm that’s about the only good thing.

Well this was the best chicken nacho I've had in a long time! And a big plate full. My husband's grilled chicken was very juicy and tender with a lot of flavor, the mashed potatoes and green beans were very tasty as well. We also got a bowl of chicken tortilla soup. It was just eh' , mostly broth. The pretzels and beer cheese were great. And we're drinking water next time! Pop was well over $3 each! We figured 2 pops with tip was almost $10, yikes! It wasn't busy at all, but the service was a little skimpy. Our table didnt seem too important to her. We still left over 20%tip. 🤷‍♀️

Extremely slow waitress despite coming in at a slow time, but she had a good attitude which was nice. The strawberry lemonade was flavorless, more like pink water. The spinach artichoke dip was tasty but the chips were stale. The chicken tenders were dry and overcooked to the point I had to remove the breading before eating because it was good hard. My husband's burger came on a very hard bun and we had to wait an additional 40 minutes for a replacement. We will NEVER eat at an Applebee's again unless they are giving it to us for free and even then it's questionable!

I don’t think knowing how to read is required. Every single time we have used the car side, we are always missing something, sometimes multiple, or something is not done correctly. For example, tonight I ordered the trio app with the pickle fries, chicken quesadilla, and wonton tacos. Instead of tacos I got the pretzel sticks. It’s not just a few times we’ve had this happen, it’s pretty much every single time. 99% of the time when we order a kids meal, we order a milk for the kids, and they are most of the time forgotten. We are more shocked when the order is actually right. I think McDonald’s has had less errors lately.
